load handling

Load handling refers to the processes and equipment used to lift, move, and position heavy objects safely and efficiently. It involves understanding the weight, size, and nature of the items to be moved, as well as the capacity and limitations of tools like cranes, forklifts, or hoists. Proper load handling ensures safety for workers and prevents damage to goods or infrastructure. It includes techniques such as balanced lifting, securing loads properly, and following safety protocols to manage the physical stress on equipment and personnel involved in material transport.
